VERDANDI DREAMS ©2026
A visual work of fine art by the artist VERDANDI.
Verdandi brings a static image to life through her temporal loops, and a lyrical presence.
**LYRICS**
Runes in the static
Hear it hum
Time leans closer
I’m not done
Born where the branches split the sky
Yggdrasil humming lullabies
Gold-lit halls but I don’t kneel
I walk the edge of what is real
They read the past in broken stone
I read the now I haven’t known
Every future breathes through me
I am what’s next, unfolding free
Not prophecy, not a command
I hold the thread in my own hand
I’m Asgardian
Not bound to crown or throne
I don’t wait for Ragnarök
I make the moment my own
Asgardian
With time beneath my skin
I don’t ask what fate will do
I decide when I begin
Bifrost flickers, glass and fire
I cross with purpose, not desire
Odin traded sight for lore
I keep both eyes, I see much more
The Norns carve names in roots and rings
I hear the choice in everything
Verdandi sings the present tense
The living cut of consequence
No script to follow, no design
The now is sharp,so I align
I’m Asgardian
Not born, but made each day
I don’t wait for signs or storms
I choose the way
Asgardian
The future knows my name
I don’t inherit destiny
I author flame
Past remembers.
Future calls.
But the present
That’s the blade.
That’s where gods are tested.
That’s where I’m made.
Hammer strikes don’t shape my will
Silence does
Stillness builds
In the pause between the beats
I become what time needs
I’m Asgardian
Not myth, not memory
I’m the living present tense
Carved into eternity
Asgardian
Hear the thread resound
Verdandi holds the now
And the now… is bound
Gold fades
Stories bend
I stand here
Begin again
